Why is Microsoft providing wrong codebase updates for an Intel based cpu machine running Microsoft Windows Professional 10 and acting like a virus?

Microsoft Windows Professional 10 was using a 64 bit intel chip was downloading only AMD64 updates. I am still receiving these in reference to 1809 update and have to reboot into safe mode and remove the contents of the directory every time the delay ticker is met to stop a 16 hour update cycle with a 52% install and the a forced return to the previous version as the update is trying to apply AMD code to my windows installation on an Intel 64bit processor. Does anyone have a hack on this ticker to reset it at startup to zero so the delay stays in force?

    ALL 64-bit architecture including Intel is called AMD64 because AMD introduced it. It's like calling generic ibuprofen Advil. So those updates are correct for your machine.

    Wonders if Microsoft is no longer fixing errors with Windows professional 10?  It sure does feel like no one is listening any more! All they want to do is run a remote session; like its going to solve the problem, when I have already informed them that the registry keys that they are inspecting in their Software update app to determine what to download which is downloaded from their server to my distribution directory in Windows home 10 do not exist in Windows Professional 10. It is then clueless knowing what to download . Can someone please inform me who is writing this rubbish update code which is becoming very frustrating.

    Paul, thank you for your communication , however this problem has existed since January 2019 . If I let the system install it runs to 52% and then fails and undoes the entire update. returning the computer to the same as it was before the update. The log shows the failure is caused by trying to apply an AMD64 update Microsoft has all this detail AMD and Intel are not the same instruction set and therefore the application of one against another is idiotic and does not function as it produces an error upon execution on two different intel Processors.

    I just don't believe Microsoft Advisers are understanding this serious error.

    That patch is correct even with text "amd64", but there is something else wrong with your OS.

    Try to reset Windows Update database.

    Here is instructions and script to reset Windows Update components.
